I’m trying to run a docker container via docker-compose on a droplet, but finding I’m not able at all to access the container from on the droplet (with curl). I followed this guide to install Docker, plus I added docker-compose.
Here’s what my docker-compose.yml looks like:
version: "2.1"
services:
sonarr:
image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/sonarr
container_name: sonarr
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=132
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- ~/docker/configs/sonarr:/config
ports:
- 8989:8989
restart: unless-stopped
It starts up fine, if I open a shell on the container I can see the service is running and curl it with localhost:8989. But then from outside the container (on the droplet), curl localhost:8989
returns with ‘Connection reset by peer’
I’ve tried running this exact config on a local server also running Ubuntu 20.04 and it all works as expected, I can curl from outside the container and get the response from inside (although that’s running Docker v19 but I hope that wouldn’t affect it?). All I can conclude is it’s something to do with a firewall or iptables or something on the droplet? But I’m not trying to even access it externally, purely from on the droplet.
Any advice? Thanks!

Hi there @dwm,
I could suggest a couple of things:
If not, I would recommend checking your container logs to see what might have happened.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
